Ezekiel
16:1-15, 60, 63 / Matthew 19:3-12
God speaks of Israel: “I loved you, but
you deserted me.”
Some time ago America magazine
carried an article entitled “Adult Runaway.” It dealt with the growing number
of adults who desert their spouses and families. These adults almost always end
up unhappy. Quoting the head of the Missing Person’s Bureau of Los Angeles, the
article says: “The majority . . . would give anything to be back living their
former lives. But they mistakenly figure there’s no way they can undo the
past.”
